This is a must-have powder for me.Starting from Idli, Dosa and sometimes when I am bored I eat chappathi with this podi. Believe me it tastes great 🙂 My mom makes the best idlipodi and I can vouch for it and my DH likes it too.This is her recipe and you just need 10 minutes to prepare this.With t
In a frying pan dry roast urad dal & channa dal separately until they are golden brown.
Do not add oil while roasting them. Keep them aside.
In the same pan add 2 tbsp sesame seeds & they will start to splutter immediately. Turn off the flame & remove the seeds, transfer it to a plate
In the same pan add Red Chillies, salt & hing
Saute for 3-4 minutes until Chillies are roasted nicely.Once the redchillies slightly changes color, Remove them from flame.
Roast in medium flame if the flame is high, the chillies will turn black soon. So ensure the color is not changed drastically or else the idli podi wont be the same color as shown in the pic.
Let the roasted dal, red chillies, sesame seeds be cooled for sometime. Say 5-7 minutes
Now grind together redchillies,roasted urad dal,channa dal to a coarse powder. We like our idli podi to be bit coarse however if you want a smooth powder, grind it well
Spicy Molagapodi is ready. Kindly store it in an air tight container so that the flavor stays for a longtime
